The regiment forms part of 1st (UK) Signal Brigade, providing military communications for national operations. HistoryEarly historyThe 1st Lanarkshire Voluntary Military Engineers were raised in Glasgow on 5 December 1859 as part of the Volunteer Force.[1] The 2nd Lanarkshire Voluntary Military Engineers and 3rd Lanarkshire Voluntary Military Engineers were raised in 1860 and 1862 respectively.[1] The regiment was formally registered with the War Office on 27 February 1860. In 1863, the regiment adopted the uniform of the Royal Engineers. In 1864, the "Corps Training Ground" was established in Maryhill. In 1894, the Telegraph Company, 2nd Lanarkshire Volunteer Military Engineers was added to the regiment.[3] In 1900, the regiment was chosen to be part of the first operational use of the Volunteer Force and a company of two officers and 99 Other Ranks were sent to the Second Boer War.[1] First World WarAs part of the 1908 Haldane Reforms, which created the Territorial Force (renamed the Territorial Army in October 1921), the regiment became the Lowland Divisional Telegraph Company.[3] A Wireless, Cable and Airline Company were added and the regiment was established as a Field Company to support 51st (Highland) Division. After the outbreak of World War I in 1914, the Glasgow Group RE was disbanded and the regiment was sent as part of IV Corps and the British Expeditionary Force to France.[1] Second World WarOn reforming the Territorials in 1920, 52nd Lowland Division Signal Company reformed at Maryhill. On 28 June 1920, the Corps of Signals was formed - it was redesignated the Royal Corps of Signals on 5 August - and the regiment changed uniform and cap badge. During World War II, the regiment again saw active service in support of both 51st (Highland) Division and 52nd Lowland Divisions in the European theatre. On reforming the TA in 1947, the regiment returned once again to Maryhill as the 51st/52nd (Scottish) Infantry Division Signal Regiment.[2] The regiment was retitled 52nd Lowland Infantry Division Signal Regiment in 1948.[2] Post WarAs a result of the 1966 Defence White Paper, a major reorganisation of the Army took place, caused by the end of National Service, with the TA being disbanded and the Territorial Army Volunteer Reserve (TAVR) formed. Instead of forming large reserve formations, the role of the new TAVR was to provide individual and unit-sized reinforcements for the Regular Army. The 32nd (Scottish) Signal Regiment was formed on 1 April 1967 as a TAVR II unit (i.e. it was assigned a NATO support role). The new regiment was composed of five squadrons, amalgamating the four signals regiments in Scotland. They were:[3]
The regiment gained a sixth squadron in 1969, when a squadron of North Irish Horse became 69 (North Irish Horse) Signal Squadron.[3] The regiment was reduced to five squadrons in the early 1970s upon the disbandment of 82 Squadron.[3] Due to Options for Change, 69 Squadron transferred to 40 (Ulster) Signal Regiment in 1995.[3] In October 2010, 69 (North Irish Horse) Signal Squadron returned to the regiment as 40 (North Irish Horse) Signal Squadron.[4] Then under the Army 2020 re-organisation, 2 (City of Dundee and Highland) Squadron was transferred from 38 Signal Regiment.[5] StructureThe regimental headquarters is situated in the West End of Glasgow and has four squadrons based in Scotland and Northern Ireland:[6]
The regiment is part of 1 Signal Brigade. See also
